The #1 seed traditonally plays Saturday but the Broncos wanted Sunday instead. Fox is claiming the team plays better on a set schedule. The 3 losses Denver had this year were all prime time games which is one of the reasons they are playing Sunday. The real reason, Denver went 13-3 in 1996 and 13-3 in 2013 as the #1, lost both times in shocking fashion. And lastly, there's zero chance Manning will be chucking the ball up in ice cold conditions like last year.
